WORTH IT$100

After having 4 large babies, the last pregnancy being full term twins (8 and 6 lbs) and no matter what I tried I could not undo the damage to my mid-section! I found that the extra skin was uncomfortable.

After 2 consultations I was excited about having a tummy tuck! My fears and concerns left me hesitant and undecided. I was really, really worried about the pain.

After about 3 months of online research and reading about others' experiences I decided it was something I really wanted to do. I am so happy with my decision.

Why did it cost you 100 bucks and I am curious why they did nothing about your upper abs.

The upper abs have been tightened and I am still very swollen. I didn't want to show the cost and couldn't enter $0.

You look great! Your sitting down before and after pics are amazing! How is your swelling? Are you able to get into smaller clothes or still wearing the same size?

Thanks. My swelling is getting much better. I have noticed that I feel it later in the day though, especially if I do too much. It will be 5 weeks tomorrow. I can get into my old jeans and they are a bit roomier in the front area but only wore them once, they just aren't too comfy yet. The skin on across my hip area and lower stomach still feels tight and a bit tender and my jeans don't have enough give. At 6 weeks I can start walking/running and hopefully that will help the mid-section feel more relaxed.

Thank you. I just had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, no lipo. I am very happy that the stretch marks are improved so much.

Congratulations. It's been a while now since your procedure. I just made my appointment for July 16 to have a tummy tuck. I've been wanting to do it for years and years but too afraid of the pain. How long did the pain last for you? Was it severe pain? Are you able to run now? Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'm SUPER NERVOUS. My pre-op appt. is next Tuesday and I hope I don't become paralyzed with fear to the point I change my mind. Your sitting before and after are such an inspiration. Same damage I have.
